RE: Integral WP 34S iPad vs Physical Device
In this case, the new algorithm gets a result that it is smaller than the computed error. In such cases the algorithm reports the computed integral as 0 and the uncertainty as the sum of the previous uncertainty and the computed integral. This was coded this way to cope with integrals that exactly evaluate to 0.

If I remove such code, the algorithm will also report bad results (not even approaching the expected result). The new algorithm, the double exponential one, being (usually) highly accurate, is fast because it uses less sample points than other methods. This time it seems that the sample points it uses does not "discover" the narrow bump around 14.13...

By now I can not imagine a way to cope with integrands like this one without disturbing the normal behaviour of the algorithm. Perhaps it is time to a deeper reflexion.

Regards.

p.s. Incidentally, I am unable to download the current wp34s emulator from sourceforge, is says "Unable to find any mirror information for the "/wp34s_V3.zip" file. Please select another file."
